WHAT WE DO?

Action First Recruitment Ltd. are a recruitment agency specifically designed for Social Work Professionals.

WHY WE DO IT?

Action First works with local authorities, charities and schools nationwide. Our founding principles remain to this day in terms of striving to fully understand our client‘s recruitment needs along with our candidate‘s skills, experience and career aspirations. We pride ourselves on matching the right candidate to the right role but our purpose doesn't end there. We recognise the crucial roles Social Workers and Teachers perform in working with vulnerable children, young people and adults.We therefore take our responsibilities very seriously in terms of vetting candidates appropriately but also supporting candidates in achieving their career aspirations in what are demanding yet incredibly worthwhile roles.

WHAT WE OFFER?

Career development plays a key part in what we do and is something we genuinely enjoy. We have a proud track record of placing Social Workers in their first management or leadership role then ensuring they continue their career progression. Our registration interview process will therefore offer suggestions as to career direction and importantly, the means to then achieve these career aspirations.

Our senior consultants will in some cases be Social Workers/ Teachers themselves, having a sound understanding of sector opportunities and also established relationships with key clients. They will also have had Value Based Interview (VBI) training from the NSPCC.

In addition, we always aim to retain good staff this we do by engaging in personal development training yet not forgetting the imperative of remuneration. Our pricing model therefore allows for industry leading rates but at no additional expense to our clients.
